The silence Of the Dallas News on the
Fort Worth Farmersville extension of the
Cuff, Colorado and Santa Fe, which, when
completed, will be operated as I greet
trunk line with solid through trains to St.
Louis, and which line viii be known as
the Fort Worth and St. Louis, is eio-
qdept The GAZETTE has 1t from good
authority That Dallas is considerably eX-
cited over the matteI-ls really mad. But
w1at would the city Of Dallas have the
road do, not take good thing when they
found it? The Gulf, Colorado and Santa
Ee is strictly business and will, by
building this line, have the short
est line from Fort Worth to
ST. Louis While the News
Is mum on this great enterprise THE GA
ZETTE will take occasion 10 let all Texas
know how the work progresses. On to
St. Louis,
The report Of the Dallas papers, kept
uP for weeks, that the Cotton Belt"
Road would build from Sulphur Springs
10 Dallas, having failed 10 mateTlalize,
the papers in that town have discovered
another way to secure the st. Louis, Ar
KANSAS and Texas without money and
without price. Says the Dallas News:
"D.iIas viii get the st, Louis, Arkansas
and Texas, and get 1t much sooner than
anybody expected. The Rumbler hss It,
semi-Oflicially, that the people of this
road and those Of the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe have closed 8 contract under
which the former is to use the track of
the latter from Wolfe City to
Dallas, and the latter the formers
track from Wolfe City to Sher-
man, to take effect as soon as the Cotton
Belt shall have been completed to the lat
ter city, which will be within four weeks
from date. This will give Dallas all the
benefits Of a line Of the Cotton Belt with
out any subsidy, and without the worry
and labor Of raising the subsidy. The
Santa Fe has larger yards and more
switches ct Dallas than any other road,
and lis terminal facilities are sufficient to
accommodate the business of several
roads, 50 that the only switching that will
be required to carry the arrangement
into effect win be al Wolfe City. The
deal viii also give Dallas another line to
Sherman and 10 the northwest, the bene-
it's 10 flow from il 10 be considerable
This arrangement will hold until such
time as the St. Louis Arkansas and Texas
can build an independent line of It's own
